Thank you for viewing my project. Please comment by clicking the discussion tab at the top.
This video is on sex education and is intended to raise questions, provide alternative options
and hopefully change the world! I hope you enjoy it.
1. What is the most important concept you learned this semester? Explain the concept briefly and discuss why it is important.
The main, I guess, concept I learned was the concept of interconnectedness. In some ways that is a concept I was very aware of, but in other ways it was something entirely new to me. I had no idea how linked the world was! And, although I highly respected the idea that Ms. Allen and Mrs. Mooreman were putting forward, I wasn't really fully getting how linked everything was. I never actually believed that my project would have any kind of success on the internet. Although the success has been very limited by "viral" video standards, as of 1-15-10 I have nearly 100 views and lots of people have viewed my page. Basically, though, what has really hit me over the past semester is that the internet is available. The internet is accessible. The internet is everywhere. And as I am on the internet, I, too, am available, accessible, and everywhere.
2. From all the new knowledge you gained in this class, choose 2 facts or ideas that make the biggest impression on you. Explain.
I feel like this kind of bleeds into my last answer. Once again, accessibility, availability, over all boundaries humans put up on land and sky and sea. The world is litterally inside my computer. This idea, if you will, is huge! Because with the aid of this device, I can learn almost anything I would like to learn. I can book flights to go anywhere in the world, I can find some place to stay through couch surfer, and I can meet or talk to almost anyone almost anywhere. The possibilities are endless, I just need to harness them. Which brings me to the next idea/fact: it's now up to me to use what is available to me to it's full potential. If I don't, then i will be losing the opportunity for so much. What a thought?
3. What 3 skills will you take from this class, and how will you use them in the future?
Skill 1: Gather internet sources on Diigo. Share them, tag them, use them, keep them, access them from anywhere. Great for future research papers in college, I should say.
Skill 2: Video creation. I can use the skills I learned in editing and creating film to send messages out via youtube that can be reached by billions.
Skill 3: Database research. I had never used databases competently before, and they are entirely useful! I am very impressed. Surely whenever I go to college there will be databases available for me to use. Now, I will be able to really use them to their full potential.
4. Look at**the 4 global competencies (objectives) for the course**. Which objective do you feel you developed to the greatest degree?
What did you learn about that objective, how did you learn it, and why does it matter in the world?
I believe I developed the invastigative objective best, but not just the ability to investigate and to learn, but the ability to communicate what i have learned in accesible and effective ways. Learning is essential to life, and communication is essential to living in a community. Global leaders are, essentially, global communicators. This is now dovetailing onto the next question....
What does it mean to be a global leader in the 21st century?
To be a global leader in this day and age means to be on the forefront of the new ways of communicating and learning. I am a 21st century global leader.
